Redshirt sophomore quarterback Jack Tuttle played in Penix’s place, going 13-of-22 passing for 130 yards and two touchdowns for the No. 12 Hoosiers. Indiana’s defense had another solid performance, keeping Wisconsin (2-2) out of the end zone and forcing two turnovers.

It was Book’s 30th victory as a starter, the most ever for a Notre Dame quarterback. The Irish (10-0, 9-0 ACC, CFP No. 2) ran their winning streak to 16 games, best in the country, and their home winning streak to 24.
